Abstract: An automatic chemical analysis apparatus having separate closed-looped conveyors for sample and reactant containers. At a fixed location, sample portions from a given sample are transferred to a serial sequence of reactant containers. Colourimetric testing is arranged such that all of the reactant products of the given sample are tested simultaneously. Sample and reactant products identification are obtained at the time the reactant containers are at the colourimeter station, at which time the sample container is at a variably positioned identification station, the position being dictated by the number of sample portions being tested for that given sample.
